Emergency Travel Advisory Issued for the State of Florida : South Florida Caribbean News

Coalition of statewide groups fearing for the safety of immigrants issues an emergency travel advisory warning people of color that travel to Florida involves many risks

FLORIDA — Immigrants across Florida feel more threatened than ever before, with attacks on the national level being amplified by local anti-immigrant policies and corporations that refuse to protect their customers.

In light of these facts, all immigrants are urged to reconsider visiting Florida and especially recommended to avoid high risk areas, including ports, airports and Greyhound stations.

While a boycott is not being recommended at this time, travelers to Florida are being asked to use discretion, understand their risks and seek legal advice.

Anyone who wants more information about their constitutional rights when in contact with law enforcement or border patrol should call the FLIC Immigrant Hotline for assistance in Spanish, English, and Kreyol: 1-888-600-5762.
